Before he put barbecue in Oriole Park, he led the Birds to World Series titles in 1966 and 1970 - when his 35 home runs and 114 RBIs made him American League Most Valuable Player. In 14 seasons here, Powell hit 303 homers, third best in Orioles history. He's one of five players to have cleared the roof at Chicago's Comiskey Park. His ninth-inning blast in Game 1 of the 1969 AL Championship Series against Minnesota tied the score and helped the Birds sweep the series.
